Bolivian independent miners perform a ritual during a celebration at the Itos silver and base metals mine in the outskirts of Oruro, February 13, 2015. Every year, on the Friday before the Andean carnival celebrations, miners would sacrifice animals in the mine to bless it, pray for their well-being and to give thanks to Mother Earth.
